Prep Recipes

If you use ingredients and recipes, you can use Prep Recipes to accurately track your pre-made ingredient inventory. For example, if you prepare a large batch of soup before service, you can enable a Prep Recipe for the product. This way, the system will remove the individual ingredients from inventory as soon as the Prep Recipe is marked as prepared. If a product has a recipe and Prep Recipe is not enabled, the ingredients will be removed from inventory at the time the product is sold.

If you would like to input the amount this recipe yields, check Recipe Yield from the details menu on the left side of the screen. Enter the yield amount in the Recipe Yield field on the right side of the screen, then click Save:

Marking a Prep Recipe as Prepared

To mark that you have fully prepared a Prep Recipe:

When you click Prep, a new window will appear with the original recipe. Here, you can edit the recipe if needed. This will only change the ingredients in the recipe this one time. (If you want to change the recipe permanently, you will do that through the Recipes page in the Products tab.) The Projected Input and Projected Yield allow you to change the ingredient amounts and yield amount for this specific batch.

Click Prepare to mark that this batch has been fully prepared. As soon as you mark it as prepared, the individually ingredients will be pulled from your inventory quantities:
